Thanks, Mike.
So technically, there could be an exception on
Rule 7, Section 4-C: For each legally pitched ball swung at and missed by the batter.
(Slow Pitch Effect)The ball is dead.
**Except when stealing is allowed, see Fast Pitch effect**
I know that this rule book will never be perfect, but these are the clarifications that my umpires call me on all the time. Thanks to all bringing your ideas and concerns to the Forum!!!
